Locking and Unlocking
Vehicle key
Description Fig. 9 Set of keys without remote control/Keys with remote control key
Two keys are provided with the vehicle. Depending on the equipment, your vehi-
cle can be equipped with keys without radio remote control ⇒
 fig. 9 - left, or with
radio remote control ⇒ fig. 9 - right. WARNING
● Always withdraw the key whenever you leave the vehicle - even if it is only
for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the vehicle.
The children might otherwise start the engine or operate electrical equipment
(e.g. power windows) - risk of injury!
● Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle
has come to a stop. The steering lock might otherwise engage unintentionally
- risk of accident! CAUTION
● Each key contains electronic components; therefore protect them against
moisture and severe shocks.
● Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean as impurities (textile fibres, dust
etc.) have a negative effect on the proper operation of the locking cylinder and the
ignition lock. Note
Please approach an authorised ŠKODA Service Partner if you lose a key since he
can obtain a new one for you. 
Changing the battery in the remote control key Fig. 10 Remote control key - remove cover/remove battery

Locking and Unlocking Using the system Safety Driving Tips General Maintenance Breakdown assistance Technical data

For the sake of the environment
Dispose of a used battery in accordance with environmental regulations. Note
● Pay attention to the correct polarity when changing the battery.
● The replacement battery must have the same specification as the original bat-
tery.
● If it is still not be possible to unlock or lock the vehicle with the remote control
key even after replacing the battery, this means that the system has to be
synchronised ⇒ page 38. 
Electronic immobiliser The electronic immobiliser prevents the vehicle being operated by
an unauthorised person.
An electronic chip is integrated in the head of the key. The immobiliser is deactiva-
ted with the aid of this chip when the key is inserted in the ignition lock. The elec-
tronic immobiliser is automatically activated when you withdraw the ignition key
from the lock. Note
It is only possible to start the engine of your car with a Genuine ŠKODA key with
the matching code. Child safety lock The child safety lock prevents the rear door from being opened
from the inside.
Fig. 11 Child safety locks on the rear
doors
The rear doors are equipped with a child safety lock. You can switch the child
safety lock on and off using the vehicle key.

Locking and Unlocking

Central locking system
Description When using the central locking and unlocking system,
all the doors and the fuel
filler flap are locked or unlocked at the same time (if it was not set differently in
the menu point Settings - Convenience of the information display). The boot lid is
unlocked when opening. It can be opened by pressing the hand grip above the li-
cence plate ⇒ page 36.

● with a remote control key ⇒
 page 37,
Indicator light in the driver's door
After locking the vehicle, the warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick
succession, afterwards it begins to flash evenly at longer intervals.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system ⇒ page 34 is not operating,
the indicator light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and
starts to flash evenly at longer intervals after about 30 seconds.
If the indicator light first of all flashes fast for about 2 seconds, afterwards lights
up for about 30 seconds and then flashes slowly, there is a fault in the system of
the central locking or the interior monitor ⇒ page 39. Visit a specialist garage to
obtain assistance.
Convenience operation of windows
One can open and close the electrically powered windows when unlocking and
locking the vehicle ⇒ page 41.
Opening a single door
This function makes it possible to only unlock the driver's door. The other doors

ing.

the Information display ⇒ page 20.
Automatic locking and unlocking
All the doors and the boot lid are locked automatically once the car reaches a
speed of about 15 km/h.

addition, it is possible for the driver to unlock the car by pressing the central lock-
ing button  or by pulling the door opening lever.
This function can be activated/deactivated by a specialist garage.
On vehicles with an information display, this function can be switched on in the
menu Settings Convenience - Door open. WARNING
Locking the doors prevents that doors open on their own in an exceptional sit-
uation (accident). Locked doors also prevent unauthorised entry into the vehi-
cle from outside, for example at road crossings. Locked doors do, however,
make it more difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency -
danger to life! Note
● In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
are automatically unlocked in order to enable rescuers to gain access to the vehi-
cle.
● Only the front door which is fitted with a locking cylinder can be unlocked and
locked using the key if the central locking system fails. You can lock or unlock
manually the other doors and the boot lid.

to unlock and lock the car,
● unlocking boot lid,
● electrically open and close the windows.
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the remote control
key. The receiver is located in the interior of the car. The operating range of the
remote control key is approx. 10 m. But this range of the remote control can be
reduced if the batteries are weak.
The key has a fold-open key bit which can be used for unlocking and locking the
car manually and also for starting the engine.
If a lost key is replaced or if the receiver unit has been repaired or a new unit in-
stalled, it is then necessary for an authorised
ŠKODA Service Partner to initialise
the system. Only after this is it possible to again use the remote control key. Note
● The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched
on.
● The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interfer-
ence from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the same frequency
range (e.g. mobile phone, TV transmitter).
● The battery must be replaced if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
does react to the remote control at less than 3
metres away ⇒ page 31.
